1
00:00:02,81 --> 00:00:06,33
Sky over the Atlantic danced erosion

2
00:00:06,33 --> 00:00:08,22
and must have stopped
endlessly for Columbus

3
00:00:08,22 --> 00:00:13,03
when he sailed from Europe to America a
few hundred years ago in over two long

4
00:00:13,03 --> 00:00:14,43
months.

5
00:00:14,45 --> 00:00:18,92
The same air ocean over the Atlantic probably
did not seem as endless to Charles A

6
00:00:18,92 --> 00:00:22,40
Lindbergh when he flew from New
York to Paris some thirty years ago

7
00:00:23,29 --> 00:00:26,66
but still it took over
thirty three lonely hours.

8
00:00:34,97 --> 00:00:38,84
Today that same Atlantic air ocean
leaving Columbus two months

9
00:00:38,84 --> 00:00:40,85
and Lindbergh's thirty
three hours in its wake.

10
00:00:41,06 --> 00:00:43,82
Looms by in a dramatic breakthrough of

11
00:01:04,05 --> 00:01:07,93
the year nineteen fifty four marked in a
stark event in the history of aviation

12
00:01:17,45 --> 00:01:21,97
a new flight was inaugurated. That
was called Flight one thousand.

13
00:01:31,44 --> 00:01:34,95
There was nothing unusual about airport
operations before Flight one thousand

14
00:01:34,95 --> 00:01:37,43
takeoff. It was duly announced

15
00:01:37,43 --> 00:01:44,48
and passengers checked in like

16
00:01:44,49 --> 00:01:46,63
one thousand destination London

17
00:01:51,29 --> 00:01:52,68
luggage was prepared for loading

18
00:01:52,68 --> 00:01:56,62
and all other routine preflight
activities were taking place.

19
00:01:56,64 --> 00:01:59,07
One thousand seemed to be just
another flight to London.

20
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:01,38
In all respects except

21
00:02:01,38 --> 00:02:23,24
that its passenger list was twice
as large as an ordinary crypts.

22
00:02:24,54 --> 00:02:26,16
Flight one thousand was a a bomb

23
00:02:26,16 --> 00:02:32,76
but no plane was used this was the first
of so-called airline paper flights a

24
00:02:32,76 --> 00:02:36,43
complete simulation of an actual flight
that's been repeated more than two thousand

25
00:02:36,43 --> 00:02:40,75
times since. The reason to prepare for
the revolution and transportation

26
00:02:40,75 --> 00:02:41,95
that is now here.

27
00:02:42,19 --> 00:02:48,79
The advent of commercial flying by Jet
clipper in those early days weather

28
00:02:48,79 --> 00:02:50,19
information for Flight one thousand

29
00:02:51,06 --> 00:02:55,05
and all the other paper jet Glide was
gathered as carefully as if real jets What

30
00:02:55,05 --> 00:02:58,99
across the Atlantic gaining invaluable
advance information about jet travel.

31
00:02:59,65 --> 00:03:01,64
For example it is now known

32
00:03:01,64 --> 00:03:06,14
that the altitude at which jets cruise
generally thirty to forty thousand feet.

33
00:03:06,74 --> 00:03:08,52
Flying will be about the weather.

34
00:03:10,53 --> 00:03:13,15
After years of paper flight
like number one thousand

35
00:03:13,15 --> 00:03:17,71
and many hundreds of real flights with
prototypes the jet age is now here.

36
00:03:20,58 --> 00:03:24,83
The Jet Age begins before takeoff at
the airline's new terminal now under

37
00:03:24,83 --> 00:03:29,53
construction at Idlewild Airport New York
Jets are parked around as in this model

38
00:03:30,25 --> 00:03:34,38
passengers were bought by walking along a
covered ramp directly to the cabin level

39
00:03:36,63 --> 00:03:40,98
ground transportation delivers travelers
directly to check in counters the circular

40
00:03:40,98 --> 00:03:45,21
design of the terminal along with its
unique counter lever roof will show a speed

41
00:03:45,21 --> 00:03:45,68
of service

42
00:03:45,68 --> 00:03:52,94
and convenience for passengers.

43
00:04:02,58 --> 00:04:02,91
This visit.

44
00:04:03,26 --> 00:04:08,30
The first American commercial jet capable
of economical transatlantic service.

45
00:04:08,60 --> 00:04:13,51
The Boeing seven zero seven jet
clip first to go aboard cargo

46
00:04:13,51 --> 00:04:18,03
and Mail cargo shipments will be able to
reach Europe in just six and a half hours.

47
00:04:18,70 --> 00:04:20,08
A letter posted in London

48
00:04:20,08 --> 00:04:24,26
or Paris after the close of business
may arrive in New York the same night

49
00:04:24,96 --> 00:04:27,06
and be waiting for the addressee
at his breakfast table

50
00:04:27,06 --> 00:04:34,02
or office the next morning
speed is a byword

51
00:04:34,02 --> 00:04:39,08
for every part of jet operation since with
some arrangements of the more than one

52
00:04:39,08 --> 00:04:40,78
hundred fifty passengers
can be accommodated.

53
00:04:41,17 --> 00:04:42,65
There is an entrance at the back

54
00:04:42,65 --> 00:04:48,11
and the front while the plane servicing
facilities are on the far side one

55
00:04:48,11 --> 00:04:53,27
indication of the staggering impact of jet
travel every one of the airlines dozens

56
00:04:53,27 --> 00:04:58,48
of jet planes can carry as many people in
a year's time as the biggest ocean liner

57
00:05:04,93 --> 00:05:09,01
last item aboard the purses
briefcase containing log manifest

58
00:05:09,01 --> 00:05:15,86
and other necessary documents for the
crew ready to taxi to the runway

59
00:05:15,86 --> 00:05:20,00
now if you were instrument than an
propeller driven craft and engines

60
00:05:20,00 --> 00:05:21,32
that are so much easier to handle

61
00:05:21,32 --> 00:05:26,83
and maintain the nag never sent new jets
with their wings spread that's bigger than

62
00:05:26,83 --> 00:05:29,55
the entire distance of the
Wright Brothers pursed like

63
00:05:39,15 --> 00:05:44,64
a car without any need for engine warm up
with outside noise now reduced to no more

64
00:05:44,64 --> 00:05:44,67
than

65
00:05:44,67 --> 00:05:49,57
that a propeller driven plane capable of
travelling at five hundred seventy five

66
00:05:49,57 --> 00:05:54,27
mph or more much higher and faster
than you've ever flown before.

67
00:06:03,87 --> 00:06:08,64
The first passenger jet Blue Butterfly
the Atlantic because of its greater size

68
00:06:08,64 --> 00:06:12,72
and speed it will do the job of several
of the biggest propeller driven plane.

69
00:06:21,46 --> 00:06:21,83
Welcome aboard.

70
00:06:22,22 --> 00:06:27,00
Welcome aboard the space is cabin
attractively decorated air conditioned

71
00:06:27,00 --> 00:06:32,26
but drop bring newly designed individual
overhead light units are an innovation

72
00:06:35,92 --> 00:06:39,95
room in a sixpence even to the powder rooms
which look like those in a private home

73
00:06:45,10 --> 00:06:48,12
and a new sensation complete
absence of vibration

74
00:06:53,99 --> 00:06:55,98
near the sun and speed but inside

75
00:06:55,98 --> 00:07:00,27
and one of the most stunning discovery is
there is no feeling of movement at all.

76
00:07:01,16 --> 00:07:08,03
No vibration hardly any sound a new concept
in air transportation the travail has

77
00:07:08,03 --> 00:07:09,21
been taken out of travel.

78
00:07:14,40 --> 00:07:16,50
Ladies and gentlemen this
is your captain speaking.

79
00:07:16,61 --> 00:07:19,84
We are now at cruising altitude
thirty five thousand feet.

80
00:07:20,45 --> 00:07:25,61
Are flying speed is five hundred seventy
five mph in addition we are benefiting

81
00:07:25,61 --> 00:07:28,59
from a substantial tailwind
by Currently the Jets train

82
00:07:28,59 --> 00:07:35,04
and our ground speed is now or
approximately six hundred fifty eight mph.

83
00:07:35,06 --> 00:07:38,50
Indications are that our arrival at
London airport may be ahead of schedule.

84
00:07:39,68 --> 00:07:42,27
I'll be speaking with you again
from time to time. Thank you.

85
00:07:46,06 --> 00:07:50,54
This is the atmosphere on a jet Clipper
flight delicious food adds to the enjoyment.

86
00:07:50,78 --> 00:07:55,58
They prepared for simultaneously operating
galleries where dishes can be cooked in

87
00:07:55,58 --> 00:07:56,42
five minute oven.

88
00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:06,98
Who's to know who

89
00:08:06,98 --> 00:08:12,95
will soon move billions
of living room quiet

90
00:08:12,95 --> 00:08:15,81
and relaxation the mood
enhanced by lighting

91
00:08:15,81 --> 00:08:20,24
that can be changed from the pale pink
of dawn through all of variations to the

92
00:08:20,24 --> 00:08:26,05
dark blue of night.

93
00:08:34,08 --> 00:08:36,14
Ladies and gentlemen this
is your captain again.

94
00:08:36,26 --> 00:08:39,11
I've just been talking with the
flight controller blood on our part.

95
00:08:39,39 --> 00:08:42,95
The temperature there is sixty four
degrees in the weather is clear.

96
00:08:44,04 --> 00:08:47,67
If you haven't already changed your watches
to conform to the time difference I

97
00:08:47,67 --> 00:08:51,35
suggest you do so now we are
now making our descent.

98
00:08:51,43 --> 00:08:55,82
I will be speaking to you again as will
be our landing pattern over the next few

99
00:08:55,82 --> 00:08:56,01
minutes.

00:09:23,27 --> 00:09:26,30
New York to London in the same
time that it takes you to go

104
00:09:26,30 --> 00:09:31,96
and see a baseball double header New York
to London in six and a half Magic Hours.

105
00:09:33,85 --> 00:09:36,20
It all goes so fast now
and it's so comfortable

106
00:09:36,20 --> 00:09:38,56
but you feel as if you
haven't traveled at all.

107
00:09:39,43 --> 00:09:40,17

You can take in the scenes
and events more fully

113
00:10:14,41 --> 00:10:21,24
and at a more leisurely pace only one of
the remarkable gains made possible by jet

114
00:10:21,24 --> 00:10:47,61
flying.

115
00:10:57,44 --> 00:10:59,65
New York to Paris seven hours.

116
00:10:59,72 --> 00:11:02,18
Only thirty minutes longer than to London

117
00:11:07,03 --> 00:11:10,91
Paris right away or in the swing
of things because once more.

118
00:11:11,13 --> 00:11:12,29

and with extra hours to do what
you want to do in a leisurely way

120
00:11:25,33 --> 00:11:29,99
experiences like these which used to be
rare events for the few of the few thousand

121
00:11:29,99 --> 00:11:34,78
of becoming neighborly visits by the
millions because international air traffic

122
00:11:34,78 --> 00:11:40,04
already increased five fold year in the
last twelve years now undergoes its

123
00:11:40,04 --> 00:11:40,64
greatest change

124
00:11:51,44 --> 00:11:55,05
jet speeds will help to accomplish
one of man's long sought goals

125
00:11:55,75 --> 00:11:59,87
and easy interchange of peoples
throughout the world Trans Ocean.

126
00:12:00,00 --> 00:12:03,51
And it's like now become a short hop six

127
00:12:03,52 --> 00:12:10,61
and a half magic hours for your shit

128
00:12:15,36 --> 00:12:16,18
